K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?

[TDoc]

I have a 1979 K10 and a 1986 K5. I want to replace the wheels and tires on the K5. I'm going to go with a 17" wheel and 285/70/17 (33") tires. 17x8 0mm offset and 17x9 -12 offset are the same price. Both have the 108mm (4.25" center bore) So they will fit either truck. Which would you recommend? I'll probably run them without center caps or try and find a chevy or 4x4 sticker... Hubs stick through the fronts anyway. Not sure if i'm putting the new wheels on the K10 or K5...

17x8

This guy put 20” on his truck. I’d have a lot less rim and more tire…

Vision has the Cheyenne model. US Mags has a very similar alloy rally called Scottsdale. And the super expensive forged version of the Scottsdales as well.
I think you’re after the Cheyenne rims?
Regardless 8 or 9” will be fine with 285s. I’d prefer 8”. The real world difference is the 9” -12mm will stick out about 1” further if I did the basic head math correct. zero offset is basically stock stance I believe.

Regardless of which you choose, it will look awesome!

I wasn’t sure about them but seeing them on a truck with more tire I like them! I fixed thread title. The us mags Scottsdale only come in 20”+ sizes.

My k10 always wears the outer edge of the front tires more than the rest of the tire. Not terrible but noticeable. Toe is correct and alignment shop says that’s all they can adjust. I wonder if the 17x9 would help, hurt or no difference?

Oh yeah they look awesome on trucks!
Regarding your tire wear, if your toe and camber is good, which it sounds like, then it’s quite likely the terrain you drive imo.
When we lived in the mountains and every day every vehicle was a commute on twisty winding roads and highways, the outsides always wore more than inside. And more front than rear tires (for obvious reasons). Heck with diligent rotations I could keep all 4 wearing the same then have them remounted outside in when the worst part was down 50% or so and get extra life out of them.
From your pics around Flagstaff I might presume you drive a lot of curvy highways and switchback roads.

correct

Didn't get the whole post, BUT, your alignment shop is either lazy or they do NOT know how to align a 4wd Square Body! There are a couple of ways to make it right. Shims between the knuckle and the housing or offset bushings on the upper Ball Joints.......not cheap, but doable
